The heat dissipating beam is an I-beam with heavy-duty conduits placed in the upper left and lower right hand corners. These conduits would be clamped in place and would be linked together via suitable fittings when the beams are structurally arranged. The conduits would be tied into a common riser to a roof-mounted water storage tank, which would hold water or another fluid with heat dissipation qualities. A pump would also be attached to the water tank for replacing the fluid after a fire or similar incident in which deployment of the fluid into the beams would be necessary. When the conduits are filled with water, or another suitable liquid, the beam would be able to withstand exposure to a greater degree of heat before weakening and failing.
